Australia Day is Comming

Tommorow is australia day, the people who I went to high school with and I realised that none of us have ever actually put a shrimp on the barbie, not that we don't have barbies. There was a point in my life where my entire life was painting and drinking, sleeping on crew members couches and getting fed by rolling to random barbies (everytime I went to the bathroom it was like shitting cold steel son). But for some reason none of these barbies ever had shrimp or prawns or seafood of anykind. So tommorow this is going to be rectified, and we are going to celebrate Australia day by living up to this completely false Australian stereo-type.

Also Australia day is basically the day Europeans settled here and claimed the land as being unowned and newly found even though aboriginals were here a long time before. So in light of this fact, the natives may or may not spill blood in the streets. In the mid ninetees they protested, I don't know if they're still doing that? They fucking should be.

Please Discuss.

i cant even begin to start on this one...

but it would have happened sooner or later to the native people of australia...at the very least it wasnt an asian country that claimed it.

i would just say pay your respect to those before you who suffer now...

I think they are a prawn related. Kind of like what muscles are to oysters, shrimp are to prawns.

And foster's is another totally false stereo-type, here the staples are VB, Carlton Draught and Toohey's New. My personal beer of choice is Coopers Red.

coopers red is tastey...but you can drink a fuck load more cheap than premium

. the bottleo near my house sells cases of Reschs Real for $26

Fcuk Fosters no Australian drinks that shit, though Fosters do make a lot of different beer that we actually do drink such as:

VB (Victoria Bitter)

Carlton Draught (Carlton Draught)

There basically the only beers I drink though I do like to feel international at times and slam down Corona's and Sol.

haha thanks for clearing that up mate..

is australia day kind of like "yawlzz" thanksgiving?

if you consider the whole town, drunk, converging in one spot to try and mack some vagina (or get their vaginas macked) under the guise of fireworks with vicious brawls scattered throughout the night thanksgiving then yes

Sounds good to me.

Ive hardly ever left the country (US) and we dont really drink Fosters here either, not all americans are ignorant to beer goodness. But I have put my fair share of shellfish on the BBQ.

Go play with knives and wrestle some crocs.

Fuckin Austrailia an' shit....

I'm watching Australian Open right now.

and I'm pretty sure Dr. Dazzle was joking. Get it?

They really need a sarcasm emoticon.

Update, If me and two of my friends go thirds in a kilo of shrimp it will be ten dollars each. ten dollars for fuck all shrimp or 3-4 dollars for all the slightly dodgy, but perfectly edible beef I can digest? (sausages..or "sanga's" ). I think I better go for the latter. This is probably why no shrimp is ever put on the barbie in this country.

Yeah I often have a problem conveying my sarcasm through writing, which isnt that cool, cause Im a sarcastic guy.

Sanga's... How do you pronounce this... Saang-ghas?

Shrimp are big prawns, and I'm well aware Australians don't drink Foster's, it was a joke...

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Sarcasm...

Crikey!

PETER CAVE: Perth is counting the cost of Australia Day celebrations marred by an extraordinary level of violence and drunkenness.

Police admit that they were taken by surprise as the day's festivities on the Swan foreshore degenerated into a series of brawls, one of them involving hundreds of people.

A ban on alcohol failed to have the desired effect, and the State Government is now considering how to give stronger powers to the police.

Our Perth reporter David Weber was there for some of the mayhem.

(sound of fireworks exploding)

DAVID WEBER: It's estimated there were 300,000 people on the shores of the Swan River, the vast majority had most likely enjoyed a day of barbecues and picnics, beer and catching up with friends and family, fuelled with a heavy dose of patriotism.

Most agreed, the immense fireworks display was the best ever.

But a different kind of fireworks was to follow.

(sound of shouting)

This reporter saw chaos. Groups of young men chased each other down the streets bent on violence. Louts leaned out of a car and randomly abused a woman sitting outside a hotel.

Teenagers draped Australian flags over their shoulders and stumbled around yelling out the Aussie chant.

Then they ran down the middle of the road, dodging vehicles with drivers who were at the end of their tether, the roadblocks were forcing them to drive in circles.

For St John Ambulance, it was the busiest Sky Show ever, there over 300 patients on the foreshore.

Last year, there were only 14 ambulance trips, but last night more than 50 people were taken to hospital.

Spokesman Jeffrey Williams.

JEFFREY WILLIAMS: A large proportion of the incidences last night, and I can't give you a percentage, but I'll just say a large proportion of them, were either as a result of alcohol and/ or assaults – either the person being injured was affected by alcohol or the person assaulting the person was affected by alcohol.

(sound of shouting)

DAVID WEBER: There was a brawl between two groups on the southern foreshore. Police say it involved hundreds of people and it took more than an hour to bring under control. Bottles were used as weapons.

You were allowed to drink if you were in an official tent. For the others, there was an alcohol ban, there were more than 700 cautions and around 60 infringements.

The Acting Premier Eric Ripper says it was minority who've ruined Perth's image.

He says the Sky Show is becoming more and more popular increasing numbers of people are spending long Australia Days in the sun.

ERIC RIPPER: There are more risks, and therefore it's more worthwhile for everyone concerned to review the organisation and to learn the lessons from this year.

We simply can not tolerate families out for a beautiful family event, having their event ruined by drunken thugs, and we're going to back the police in making sure that so far as possible that doesn't happen.

DAVID WEBER: A special police squad targeting anti-social behaviour was called out for the first time last night. Two officers were injured after the fireworks display ended.

Talkback callers to the ABC today expressed indignation and embarrassment. One man talked of seeing people urinating in full view in Perth's main streets.

TALKBACK CALLER 1: Young people were coming off the trains and a lot of them were sloshed before they even got there. It's the first time I've seen urinating on the street, just out in full view.

TALKBACK CALLER 2: They're ratbags so if they can't behave themselves you don't have one.

TALKBACK CALLER 4: It was a very unpleasant situation, there were a lot of people there drinking.

TALKBACK CALLER 5: And it was really the people that weren't sitting down watching the fireworks that were causing the trouble. Before the fireworks we got… we nearly got in the middle of a fight, but that's the only fight I saw.

here

gnarly. it gets worse every year. and it's coming up on beer'o'clock now..

First time she'd seen urinating in the street?? come on perth

if you dont have a slip and slide out. its not really australia day

the old in and out ?

No one mentioned MELBOURNE BITTER.... *le sigh

Nectar of the gods.

Represent.

Sanga's pronounced Sang-ghas. So you were pretty much on point.

So i just got back from Australia day with my old crew from highschool. I got met at a train station by one of my friends dressed normally, and my closest mate in high school who was wearing nothing but his underwear and an australian flag tied around his neck like a cape. He then rambled something and poured beer all over his head.

We then went back to another friends house where the barbie was meant to take place.

Apparently they had been playing drinking games and drinking beer bongs while everyone chanted "faggot, faggot". (This is after I told them about something WhiteOx mentioned in another thread). Sanga's were eaten. Beer bongs were drunken. Then we all piled into the back of a ute with a garbage bin full of beer and ice to go to the local oval to play cricket.

There were other, less rowdy, more civilised people at the oval already playing. Long story made shorter, we won the cricket-game but my man in the australian flag cape ended up getting retardedly violent and started throwing beer cans at the losers, one of the losers snapped (as he had the right to ) and tackled my friend, who's shoulder than dislocated (this is the fourth time that's happened to him). Having just quit Dr**s of all kinds he was excited about the various pain killers they pumped into his body and was over-acting to try and get more. I had to sit in the ambo with him while he faked foaming at the mouth and talked non sense for a few hours. They popped his shoulder back in.

Then I got picked up in the back of the ute and went and drank more beer. Then I left.

Thus ends Australia Day.
